SPOKANE, Wash. The Washington Legislature adjourned Sunday after passing a two-year budget of $59 billion. Spokane gets just over $12 million of that, which the City Council has divvied up among local organizations.
“City Council and its legislative team demonstrated yet again that a strategic investment by the City to influence the Legislature can reap major dividends in Spokane projects that help everyday people,” said City Council President Breean Beggs. “I am grateful for the work of Senator Andy Billig, Representative Timm Ormsby, and Representative Marcus Riccelli for the majority of these investments and a special thanks to Representative Mike Volz for the investment in Meadowglen Park.”
